“The San Francisco Recreation and Parks Department and the city’s lawn bowling club reopened its lawn bowling green Tuesday [November 18th] at 10 a.m. at the oldest municipal lawn bowling club in the United States.

In 1901, Superintendent of San Francisco parks John McLaren laid out the green in Golden Gate Park, and co-founded the bowling club. The green is currently considered San Francisco landmark number 181.”

Concrete sidewalks are completed and the metal fence was installed last week. The crows enjoy digging for worms in the new sod which is causing a daily ruckus.

In the next four weeks, the gate hardware, guardrails and accessible bridge over the gutter will be installed. Stay tuned.
